Re: 10lbs is too much!!!! Y2KHAWK,
It is a good thing that you have the mad skills to run 10+lbs of boost on a high compression engine. The only thing I am saying is this-> Most people do not have the tools, knowledge, and luck to do such a thing. The lower compression is just the safer way to go. That way, you don't have to worry about a mouse farting in front of you causing a distrubance in your air to fuel mixture causing some wicked knock(or large boom) and turning your dip stick into a new hood ornament as it is propelled out of it's tube by the newly found crank pressure at a high rate of speed. Can you tell I have not had much sleep? I come up with some funny stuff with little or no sleep. I have to go, but hopefully this entertained you <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Re: 10lbs is too much!!!! I'll be the first to tell you that it's not the average street car that runs high boost w/ high compression.
It's not for the faint of heart, or most people in general. I completely agree.
Why do you think i'm dropping the compression in the new motor? lower CR and more boost should let me make the same numbers on pump gas.
But race gas and ALOT of boost should be down right ignorant <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Re: 10lbs is too much!!!! I've been thinking of picking up a used single spinner kit (since some go pretty cheap) and then putting some stock 6 liter heads on to drop the compression a little to give a little more safety...
